Five police officers have been served with gross misconduct notices in relation to the death of a man who was allegedly restrained during an epileptic seizure.
The 32-year-old died two days after going into cardiac arrest in a police van and falling into a coma, according to his family.
He was spending his evening in Haywards Heath with his girlfriend and friends on 26 July, his father said, but when he fell into a complex partial seizure, a neighbor mistook his shouting for an argument and called the police.
